Surprise visit!

Early this evening my sister Sandy came over with her 3 kids! They were fun! While they were at Nana & Grandad's house, they all enjoyed a tea party! These are some pictures from tonight!


Abby enjoyin' her OWN tea party!
Evan acting "goofy"!

Aidan being silly!
These pictures of the girl's are from when I had them last week. I am just now gettin' to upload pictures from then!


Rayanne & Ryleigh had some obsession with wrestling. It got kinda wild at times!

Another shot of the wrestling match! I think Ryleigh was winning!
I hope everyone has had a great week so far! And, enjoy your weekend! :)

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by my sister Sandy to tell 7 things about me.

1. I absolutely am terrified of cats. It is ridiculous and funny, but it's true.

2. I am obsessed with Julia Roberts movies! If it's out there, I either have seen it or I own it.

3. I love taking pictures. My favorite pictures are any that are black & white.

4. I'm too judgemental & critical of people.

5. I don't open up to people or trust very many people. I would rather have no friends, than have ones that weren't good at being friends.

6. I LOVE chocolate. I don't go a day without eating something that is chocolate.

7. I have an obsession with Wizard of Oz stuff! One day, I WILL have a Wizard of Oz Room!!!

I have no one to tag! Sorry:(

The Girl's are here!

Last night my sister brought me her girls and we went to church and then went to Pizza Hut to eat dinner. I had a Bowling outing today with the teen girl's from church so I got to take Rayanne & Ryleigh with me. They had a blast. At first, I was afraid the bowling ball would take Ryleigh out. Here are a few pictures of the girl's enjoying their time at the bowling alley.

Rayanne had just released her first ball! She hit 3 pins and she was excited!

This girl got really serious when it was her turn!


Ryleigh had to get on her knees when she bowled!


She looks like a pirate! This was before we went bowling. They were saying "Style Girl"

They had a good time and they both fell asleep on the way home!

I GOT MAIL!!!

Today I came home from work and I had a stack of mail laying on the counter. Usually, it is junk mail, so I just toss it in the trash. Not this time! I looked at this little envelope that said "hugs & kisses" on it. I knew who it was from! RAYANNE! From what I hear, Rayanne was even able to mail my letter all by herself and she thought she was a "tough cookie". She was gone all last week to visit with her Grandma Brown in Michigan and I missed her. Some of you may think I am silly for posting this, but it made my week! Rayanne and I are very close and I actually had tears in my eyes as I realized that she was a big girl now! She is starting Kindergarten in August and it is just making me realize how fast time flies by. Here is what I got from my "Bernie":I think this picture is self-explanatory.

I am thinking maybe she wanted this one to say: "We Love You"


She loves Cinderella so she made me a collage of the new movie "Cinderella III".
This is my Ray Ray!

Okay, well I hope you at least enjoyed the pictures.

Summer is half gone...

Hey everyone!

Pretty much the only new thing since my last entry is....I GOT A JOB! I started in June and I am the Office Administrator @ the church and so far I like it. It's part time and great hours. It still allows me to have some freedom during the day, and I love that.

Today, we had some family over for a cook-out. It was fun. My sister Sandy and her gang came over, both sets of grandparents came, and of course Stephanie and Mom & Dad. The kids played outside with water guns and buckets of water. They all seemed to enjoy themselves. They also got to enjoy ice cream cones and it was quite hilarious! Abby was a mess!

Here are a few pictures to show you how much fun everyone had!

These kids are so funny! I hope that everyone stayed dry and enjoyed their 4th of July!!
